Our company works all over the lower Mississippi River. Many of the project locations are distinguished by the Mississippi river mile posts or mile markers. I am searching for the best and easiest method of adding all of the Mississippi mile markers into Google earth for state of Louisiana. Anyone happen to have any advice on how to do this? I can't be the only one who has done this before but have had trouble finding any info when googling

Is there not a site that does this already..? When some of our teams have to go to specific sites based on markers, I am pretty sure they just pull up a state site

Thanks for directing me to this site. I was able to download a SHP file with all of the waterway mile points all over the US. I then used free DBF editing software to delete out all other bodies of water with exception to the MS river. Imported to google earth and this is the result. Exactly what I have been trying to do.
